Poetry Palace

Pleasant caresses for the ear, Offers of phrases sweet to hear, Everyone worthy to be heard, Telling stories word by word. Rare INFUSIONs for our eyes, Young and old the poets rise Placing word bricks for palace walls As INEVITABLE memory recalls. Letting inspired thoughts flow free Artistic ILLUSION wars with CREATIVITY. Crafters and artists competing, EVENTUALLY in this palace meeting. By: Joyce Johnson For Linda-Marie's "Poetry Palace" contest. One of the several first places win

A cool interpretation for this contest, Joyce. I am seeing lots of very well crafted poems like yours for this contest. My mom used store bought salad dressing. So that is my favorite potato salad, kind of a sweetness to it, but I like them ALL!!

"Artistic illusion wars with creativity..." Wow! Sometimes there is a gentle meeting of the minds betwen the crafters and artists. For some, poetry is a craft, but for you it is an art. Great entry for the contest, Joyce. Winning wishes coming your way. Hope your week with your brother is going well. Love and blessings, Carolyn
